Okay, now sleeping in the hay and found all my stolen goodies. Marion, thanks for the tip about what to chose, yes I'm a thief, getting good at stealing, I must say, but I have about 7 points to use and 2 skills to choose. So, now I know where to put them.Dumb bees, and what's with the hostile kitties??Some Knight came up to me and well, he killed me, but he had help from some bee.Got to the Blue Something Inn, lots of goodies in the cellar a few in one room that a young lady wouldn't let me investigate.I found your Maria! Stuck a blue flag right on top of her.Killed a Troll, but the man didn't really seem to care. Found the cow thief, but kept quiet about it, I tried to tell on him but I wouldn't do it.He's in jail now. So much going on, I have a letter and have to find a guard to give it to, but no one tells me their name. Rats!I've been killing anything and everything-surprised the heck out of me when I killed a cow, had no idea I was going to do that. I acheived double digits 10!! That made me feel good. Soon be a teenie booper!!(Oh, that's a punie)Having fun, the farmlands are busy quests!Oh and I found the human transporter, now I have to find the scroll..I'm marking everything.Talked to some strange people that want me to open a garden gate for them...hmmm, backtracked on that one when I saw where I was, a little close to that Abbey Place. What's a nice Catholic girl like me doing? Killing, thieving and generally being a bad/good person....Keep posting, helps me when I finally get somewhere!!Ingie

There is a house in Verdistis just north of the General Store that is abandoned. It has a locked hatch in the floor that I just cannot get open. It doesn't seem to be part of a quest or anything, just something that will drive me buggy! <img border="0" alt="" title="" src="graemlins/woozy.gif" />

Any ideas?

Audrey, don't worry about that house now it will be relevant later on in the game. Wizards rental house I think. It would not hurt to mark it on your map and make yourself a note so you don't forget about it.

don't take life seriously you'll never get out of it alive.

Okay Ingie...I got through Stormfist Castle. Not much of a problem if you wait until you've done everything else you can do. And I found the imp who took my teleporters at the Council of Seven place. Now I have to round up a member of each race for the council.

I tried to kill the Talking Tree in the Dark Forest with Buad's tea but I haven't been able to figure out how to do it. Lugged a barrel of it all the way over to the tree and I can't figure out how to use it to poison the tree.

Marion, you're so funny! Hauling the tea to the tree. I actually didn't get a chance to kill it because I forgot about the tea. Make sure you have the deadwood branch first that you need to give to what's her name, Corinna? My poor memory.

Ingie, I had all the dogs mad at me at one point. DD is like a whole universe to itself, isn't it?

Somehow I have achieved Level 12, didn't even know I had acheived 11!!Surprise!Biggest shock was when I went to blow up the orc train, went through a lot of hostile enviroment and left the barrel somewhere. Had nothing with which to blow it up! had to backtrack, left it in a haystack way back when!!I am now in the Merchant area, finally found someone to repair my stuff, whew.I chose pickpocket skill, I get to take stuff and when the mechant says find anything, I just say no thanks just looking, and it's in my inventory, now that's fun.I think I'm trying to help Maria out something with the merchant guild guy..Killed a bunch of Trolls, I think they were bugging the farmers. They have been blamed for a lot of killing I did.Blew up the orc well, that went much better.Now there's a Giant Orc, he kills me dead..I having a blast, don't want to quit, but I get so mad, I get so involved that I forget to Save and of course, regrets!Thanks for all the encouragement, yes Jean it's quite a little nice place (HA)Ingie

OH, the joy of being back!! Been in dd all evening and I do not which was worse, the dang mosquitoes or those three dingdongs trailing after me in the garden. I played hide-n-seek for a good 10 mins. Ok, I've done the Garden thing, found the vamp in the wine cellar-something unjust about that, of course he sucked me dry..go back to that later, but that will be at least 2 quest solved there. Can't decide to go graveyard picking or back to the dwarf jewler, that'll be tom. nites fun and games,does the guy whose cart got toasted have the tree root or not??can't decide if he's lying or not. I did not burn it.But, I snitched on who I thought did.Asked to join the Thief Guild, yeah, my pickpocket skills are horrible..I'm at the next Level-14 yippee!!Marion, did you find your dwarf??Cheers, Ingie

Yes I found my dwarf! The council of seven is now complete and I banged the gong. Ended up in a desert (wastelands?).

I left a few quests not done such as the bottle of wine for Corinna. I got the bottle of wine but apparently not the correct "quest" way. Also couldn't bust Tingalf. Found the depot first (nosey me) and then the quest wouldn't work. Oh well...too many things to kill and not enough time...story of my life. .

Marionthat makes perfect sense!!Nickie, nope, better check that garden over again.Those 3 dopes following me gave me willies...No, I didn't think it would be that easy, didn't trust the guy anyway, he not nice!I'll be gone all day so fire it up tonight, oh boyHope I remember to go through the garden again.Those vampires are mean, but I killed one sorta of vampire according to my trophies, couldn't begin to tell you where I ran into him.Marion, it sounds like you're so close to being done!!! I'm sure all these quests will never be completed, but...as in life, mine aren't eitherIt bugs me that I can't get my figure to jump over things or at least climb a fence.Happy Palm Sunday!!!!!Ingie

Ingie -It looks like I have quite a bit of game still left. Lots and lots of imps to kill. I have to find a dragon who's supposed to make me a ghost so I can get across some lake to stop the Black Ring. I have no idea what this is all about, but Zandalor is here with me and what he says, I do. I'm glad I brought all my money with me, but now I'm running out. Guess I'll have to find more stuff to sell. Oh and my teleporter pyramids came with me.

Nickie-I'm level 44. Do you get some kind of score at the end of this game so you can tell how you did?

Have yet to discover an imp, but then I've got a long way to go. I think I'm really just starting.But, so much to do, busy...going back now, been gone all day and I have to tell you waiting to go find some goodies has been on my mind all day!!!
